I., Jan. 30. — Seven buildings, connected with the United States naval training station at Coast ers’ Harbor island in this city were destroyed by fire tonight, causing an estimated loss of $100,000. The build ings destroyed were tho detention building, machine shop, paint shop, paymaster’s storehouse, carpenter shop and two small storehouses. One of the burned bnildiogs con tained all of the small boats and cut ters used for practice purposes. A ll were destroyed. Several apprentices in single irons were confined in the de tention building at the time the fire broke out. Physical Instructor Joseph Kirby liberated them by a heroic effort. When he reached the deten tion building be could not see the yonng prisoners on account of the smoke, but they answered his call. Supported by a line of men Kirby made his way to the spot where the boys were in confinement and passed them back one by one to the men be hind him, and so out to the sea wall. In passing over the sea wall two ol the manacled boy* fell overboard, but were rescued. For a time the famous old frigate Constellation, which is need as a prac tice ship at the station, was in danger of destruction, but prompt work on the part of the firemen saved the ship. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST ADD T O RESERVES, Government Wilt Soon to Take Action on Oregon Forests. Washington— The present year iz likely to zee several m illion acre added to the forest reserve of Oregon. Up to this time 0,072,560 acres have been brought within permanent foreet re serves, a ad 0,008,330 acres additional have been temporarily withdrawn. Just what part of this latter area is to become permanent foreet reserve and what part is to he turned back to the public domain has not been determined. Out of the withdrawals, however, 2,130,400 acres set appart for the Blue mountain reserve w ill be placed under the foreet administratoin. There has been an intimation that a pr<>clamation w ill soon issue creating a Rogue river foreet reserve in South western Oregon, for which 1,192,320 acres have been withdrawn. This pro- posed reserve takes in fully half of Curry and Josephine counties and small portions of Coos and Douglas. When originally mapped out, the Rogue river reserve was deemed impracticable, be cause the railroad land grant traverses the area. Now that the lieu land law is repealed and there is no danger of lieu laud frauds, this objection from the government standpoint seems to have been removed. Various withdrawals of small areas in Marion, Linn, Lane and Douglas counties, aggregating 250,040 acres, have been made with a view to enlarg ing the Cascade reserve along its west )>oundary. It is quite probable thai these tracts w ill be permanent reserves. The same is true of the withdrawal of 12.000 acres in Clackamas county ad joining the Cascade reserve. In Morrow and Grant counties a withdrawal has been made embracing 417.000 acres, which w ill eventually be made into the Heppner forest reserve unless present plans are abandoned. It has not yet been determined what dispoeition shall he made of the Warner mountain withdrawal, which embraces 2,839,810 acres in Klamath, Lake anil Crook counties. Mach of this land, upon examination, has been found un fit for forest reserve purposes, and w ill probably be turned back to the public domain, but those portions which are valuable for timber or as protection to watersheds are likely to be permanent ly reserved at some future time. In addition to the foregoing, 1,280 acres in JackBon county have been withdrawn with a view to enlarging the Ashland reserve and 4,480 acres in Crook county withdrawn to enlarge Maury mountain reserve.

Burns — With 24 inches of snow in the Harney valley, and at places three feet of it, with the mountain roads almoBt impassable on account of the still heavier snowfall there, stockmen are anxious concerning the prospects of getting their stock through the winter.

OFFICERS TO BLAME Charge Made That Loss of Life on Valencia Was Needless. MANNED BY INCOMPETENT CREW Steamer Queen Ignored Signals for Help— Tugs Did Not Make At tempt at Rescue. - Beattie, Wash., Jan. 3 0 .- -Newspaper comment and the criticisms of the res cued passengers of the crew from the wrecked Pacific Coast steamship Valen cia agree that there was gross negligence in connection with the disaster and at tempted rescue. I t is conceded that Captain Johnson, running in a thick fog by dead reckoning, in the treacher ous Japanese current that all navigators know upsets every calculation at times, mistook his position. He tnought he was off Um atil’.a reef when be struck on the west coast of Vancouver island. Passengers and crew disagree about Johnson’ B actions thereafter, bat they all agree he carried a revolver. Borne say he threatened immediately to com mit suicide, others tiiat he used the gun to try tc bring hack a semblance of order. But there is no difference of opinion in the statement that Johnson sent off at least two life boats shortly after midnight in a sea that dashed them to pieces. I t mry be that an excited passenger cut the falls and spilled the first boat, hut both passengers and crew declare that hud Johnson waited until day break, the boats might have been land ed safely, or at least a high percentage of eaved lives recorded. That the life boats put off improperly manned; tiiat the crew itself was not drilled; that the life preservers were filled with rushes instead of cork; that the Pacific Coast boat Queen ignored cries for help and put off to sea; that the tugs Salvor and Czar did not attempt a rescue; that the passengers and members of the crew who reached shore made no effort to take life lines— these are all well sub stantiated charges. F. J. Campbell, a passenger, swore this afternoon before an examining board that the life boats were not prop erly maimed. Second Officer Patterson swore small boats from rescue steamers could have reached the doomed Valen cia and that if Captain Johnson had not sent off his own life boats until Tuesday or Wednesday their passengers could have been saved. A ll the men saved allege the women would not go off i i the boats, hut pas senger Campbell swears the men fought for their places. SEARCH FOR LIFE. Steamers Patrol Scene o f Disaster to Valencia. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 25. — The wrecked steamer Valencia now iiea sub merged and broken, but a portion of a mast stands above water and the fleet of steamers and tugs have today been turning their attention to patrolling the vicinity with the hope of finding boats, rafts or wreckage still afloat with survivors, though the chance« are small. Ashore, several parties have been toiling over most arduous trails, some carrying succor to those who were washed ashore, others scouring the rugged rocks of the shore line seeking for any survivors that may have reached shore and be lying hungry and helpless, and others are engaged in the melancholy duty of recovering bodies. Of the total company of 154, but 33 have been definitely accounted for, and three men, believed to be other sur vivors, were seen on shore from the whaling vessel Orion, near the wreck, huddled about a fire. Bix survivors have been taken up on the Salvor; niue, most of them so badly cut up and bruised, without food, and bo overcome that they coaid not stand, much less walk, are still camped at Darling Creek, a telegraph hut, and 18 others were picked up by the City of Topeka. With the three seen from the Orion, a mile and a half from the wreck, add ed, the survivors total 36, leaving a death list of 119 persons. Not a woman or child is among the saved. Scant hope is entertained by those on board the patrolling steamers that any others will be recovered, for the doctors on rescuing tugs say the lim it of human endurance w ill have been passed before that time, W RECKAGE C O M ING ASHORE.
